What  is  the highest inflation rate ever?

Inflation is typically a broad measure, such as the overall increase in prices or the increase in the cost of living in a country.

Inflation Rate in the United States averaged 3.29 percent from 1914 until 2022, reaching an all time high of 23.70 percent in June of 1920 and a record low of -15.80 percent in June of 1921.

Inflation is an increase in the prices of goods and services. 

Cost-push inflation happens when the absolute stockpile of labor and products in the economy which can be created (total stock) falls.
